   How to make it in Fx3b5? Changing “firefox-3.0b3″ to “firefox-3.0b5″ doesn’t work…

2. UbuntuLinuxHelp on April 3, 2008 9:15 am

   @m_gol – Let me see what I can find. This was just release yesterday (Apr. 02) so I have not installed it yet.

   From:http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0b5/releasenotes/

   “..Extensions installed under previous versions of Firefox may be incompatible and/or require updates to work with Firefox 3 Beta 5. Please report any issues to the maintainer of the extension.
   When you install Firefox 3 Beta 5 all of your Extensions and Themes will be disabled until Firefox 3 Beta 5 determines that either a) they are compatible with the Firefox 3 Beta 5 release or b) there are newer versions available that are compatible…”

   But flash is a plugin, not an extension…

   @m-gol – Yes you are totally correct! :)

   I was just trying to get across to any readers that because Firefox 3 is still in Beta, that there are going to be issues. ;) That’s the only reason why I quoted it. I will try the upgraded later and see if I have the same issue with Flash (I probably will). And then we can see how we are able to fix this.

   Thanks!
   :)

   @m_gol – It works for me.
   I could be that flash is installed in a different location?
   Maybe you don’t have it installed in the path used by the post? Try changing the actual path to the location on your system.

   No, I have it installed in standard location. File:
   /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
   exists. I made symb. links to this file (which is, also, sl to /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin) in the following locations:
   /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
   /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b3/plugins
   /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b5/plugins
   but it changed nothing.

   Shouldn’t I do sth with stuff in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree? I have no other idea.

   Maybe anyone knows just how to find a place where Fx looks for Flash? I could find it on my own – now I cannot use Flash at all with Fx3 and it is a “little” disturbing…

   I asked at mozilla forum and I got a very simple answer – just to go to Adobe site, download *.tar.gz script and install it manually. Now it really works!

    For anyone following this thread, Lucas Malor on Mozilla forums provided the solution:

    Try with a clean profile or to install it manually, if you don’t:
